Hi..I first wanna say I'm so grateful I have found this site. I have been thinking about this surgery for a while and being able to read your experiences has helped me and taught me so much. I am seeing a surgeon tomorrow morning to get the process started and was wondering what questions should I ask him? Any suggestions? His name is Dr Gohil in Syosset NY if anyone has had surgery with him, I would love to hear what your experience was like.. Thank you

How did your first appointment go? I have my first appointment tomorrow.

Hello.. I'm sorry for the late reply. I am still figuring this site out. My first appointment went well. I am working on getting the clearances necessary. They found a bump on my endoscopy so I had to go to another gastro doc and am scheduled for another endoscopy on Sept 9th. I was a bit bummed because I was hoping to be cleared sooner than that. :-( I'm just going to do what they tell me..lol.. I've waited this long, another few weeks won't kill me..I still have to do my sleep apnea study next Thursday night and then I'm done! I'm hoping for an October surgery date. How did your appointment go?

How did you like the office? I have my first appointment with Dr. Powers on Wednesday. I really like the Syosset facility but I am a bit nervous because I know they do more band procedures than sleeves.

I thought everybody was great at the office.. I know that Dr. Geiss mainly does bands but Dr Gohil has been doing the sleeve for many years. There is another woman doctor (I forget her name) that does the sleeve as well. I guess they all have their own area of expertise. Good luck with your appointment and keep me posted!
